Read every book he's ever written twice at least. May have to grab a Sackett of some sort for the am.

Television.

Isn't that terrible? Reading's an excellent activity for a number of reasons and I know this.....yet I still don't do it.

Jan 1st.....start reading and exercising. This is the year damn it.

I like short stories still hunting ya dont fall in a well and forget to listen and look. Patrick McManus is a humorous outdoor writer who wrote the closing story in field and stream for several years. I knew several guys who got the mag just for his story and would open the mag from the back. He has several books of his stories perfect for the stand or the back of the crapper at camp.

Friend of mine made a goal for 2019 to read a book a week. She is going to make it. I am not that aggressive, but I am going to make a goal of a book every two weeks next year.

The term "still hunting" is in the LDWF hunting regs, Cletus. Study harder.


Louisiana regs include stalking as part of still hunting:

quote:

Still Hunting: Stalking or stationary stand hunting without the use of dog(s).


To the rest of the hunting world “still hunting” means stalking. You’re welcome to look it up.

Read. It’s good for you, Cletus.

Don't read in the stand, but reading "The Naturalist" by Darrin Lunde. It's about TR, enjoying it a lot so far.

You know he didn't have a middle name, right? Lol!

It's just TR. You're thinking of Franklin, FDR.

I've found most books on Roosevelt (or even by Roosevelt) to be enjoyable and thoroughly entertaining even. But I wouldn't take a damn one of them to the stand...lol!

River of Doubt about his journey down the Amazon is a great read. It is a wonder he survived that trip.

Animal Liberation, The Definitive Class of the Animal Movement, is a good book to read while hunting. Also, That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals: A Book About Vegans, Vegetarians, and All Living Things

It's a wonder he even made it to that trip...lol!

I mean, he was a weekly, asthmatic child. He chased danger wherever he went, whether it be in the badlands living the life of a rancher and frontier lawman (chasing boat thieves down frozen rivers no less), or on the African Savannah, or in Cuba leading his Roughriders. Hell, not long before that trip he narrowly escaped death during an assassination attempt. Only reason he survived was because of the thickness of the speech he had folded in his pocket.
